I first met John this past August at Northwood University and worked with him to design his courses. I enjoyed our conversations and felt nothing but affection for him. He cared about everyone who encountered him and he will truly be missed here. When I would work with his students directly, they would tell me the same thing, they loved him and his classes. To his family and friends, may you know my deepest sympathies and know that you are in my prayers. Rest in Peace, John! It was a pleasure!
